Windstar is growing its fleet for the first time in thirty years! Boutique luxury cruise line- Windstar is adding two new ships to their Star Class lineup with Star Seeker arriving in December of 2025, and Star Explorer in December 2026. Their most recent ship was christened in 1990, so the debut of Star Seeker will mark the 35th year since Windstar has introduced a new ship.
